Sea Sponge testimonial :)

Body: 

So, since the birth of my son almost a year ago, I have been unable to use tampons. The things just go right past my cervix and then work their way out easily. This is a small tragedy to me since pads are gross and uncomfortable and I'm always self-conscious that they are visible. I had pretty much resigned myself to having to wear pads until my gleefully anticipated menopause, but today I tried the Sea Pearls sea sponge for the first time with awesome results! I couldn't believe how effective they were, no leakage whatsoever! Once it started to get a little 'full' (I guess) I could sort of feel it more. But it was very easy to rinse out and replace...I'm feeling pretty good about being ecologically correct, too.
Anyway, I just wanted to pass this on to any other women who were having trouble with tampons...

Hi Michelle,
i too have been wondering about what i'll do when my periods return as i feel the same as you about pads, so would be good to know if this might be feasible for me too!
Not sure what prolapses you have, but great to know this is an option that might work!
thanks!!!

I've had more luck with the smaller ob tampons than the regular tampax type, but one of these days I plan to try the sea sponge.
I feel the same way about pads, they're just plain uncomfortable. I made my own cloth pads for postpartum use and really, they're much more comfortable than the disposable type. feels like wearing thicker underwear. still I prefer a tampon....
thanks for the tip
